The Magic Bus Trip

Manaloa

Hi all!! I'm back!
Wave

Been sidetracked with other food experiments. Thought about joining in one of the other challanges, but this way if I get derailed it doesn't affect anyone but me. Any sideline cheering/support/constructive criticism is welcome!!

Been manipulating my diet a lot in the last few months, higher fat/carb/protien, lower fat/carb/protien.

Things to note:

*Higher carbs makes me feel good if using vegetation carbs vs processed carbs.

*Higher carb intake only makes me feel good when consumed one day per week or less. Any additional days of carb intake causes unnatural hunger/cravings/binges/mood swings & varying degrees of energy levels.

*Consistant high carb intake causes my ankle rash to reappear. (suspecting yeast/candida)

*Fasting causes my ankle rash to disappear quickest. But also the most difficult to do.

*Consistant high carb intake causes sleep disturbances.

*Forced high fat intake with low carb/protein makes my skin very soft/supple. Acne is nonexistent/pores are small/skin is translucent. Digestion is excellent. Energy is consistantly high.

*Forced high fat intake with low carb/protein for more than five days causes carb/protein binges.

*Forced high protein intake with low carb/fat for more than five days causes nausea and basal temperature drop.

*Protein shakes, while easy and convienent, do not give either mental or physical satisfation. Unless made into a dessert shake with a large quantity of heavy cream and raw eggs.

*Sucralose, erythritol & stevia do not cause any noticible effects dietary or physically. All other artificial sweeteners/sugar alcohols cause digestive upsets and/or binging.

*Excessive cow dairy on a daily basis cause sinus issues. Goat dairy does not cause any sinus or digestive issues.

*Moderate fat/protein consumption with minimal carb causes consistant energy levels, deep sleep, reduction of ankle rash, easy digestion, lack of binges, occasional skin disturbences with higher dairy consumption. Dissatifaction of DH with food choices at restaurants. Occasional food consumption boredom.

Goals for this experiment:

*Daily exercise in some form.

*Daily general logging of dietary intake in this forum only.

*Stop tracking exact quanitities of everything that goes into my mouth, so that I can try to quit manipulating macros (for a while).

*Sunday through Friday consume only:
~Meat
~eggs
~minimal dairy (to include only butter & cream for coffee)
~coffee
~spices
~Nothing processed.

*Saturday consumption:
~meat
~eggs
~dairy (quantity not limited)
~coffee
~spices
~vegetation (not to include grains)
~Processed food in limited quantities (i.e. salad dressing)

So I guess day one is today. Haven't eaten yet, not sure what I'm going to make for lunch. Eggs would be easy, but I'm kind of in the mood for hamburger, but I don't have any defrosted. Maybe I'll swing by the store and pick something up.

Manaloa-- You're back. Yay.
Wow! You have really been busy tracking your food and reactions. Great work. I hope that all you learned will be very helpful to you. I know that I am always learning more about what works well for me, and what doesn't.

I'm glad to see you back, and wish you well with what you are trying now.

So glad you're back, Manaloa! Sunny

Sounds like you are very determined to figure out what you need to make this carnivore thing work. That is super. Reminds me of Kristelle. You guys are figuring things out by experimentation, instead of blindly following some "prescribed eating plan" from some book. I truly believe if one is to stay healthy throughout their life, this is the ONLY way to go. Get in touch with your own particular issues. Only YOU can know your unique physical and mental issues, and only through trial and error can you figure out what is going to work. You are an inspiration in the fact you NEVER give up! That is the only secret to this whole thing, isn't it?

I have always constantly tweaked things, and will go on all sorts of elimination schemes to figure things out, etc. I'm getting more and more comfortable with my WOE because of this. I'm really happy that, over the long haul, I'm improving my health, and finding a way to MAKE THIS WORK. Cuz, let's face it. If it doesn't work, then one is never gonna stick to it, are they? Plus, even while you are experimenting, you are eating MUCH better than if you just ate whatever SAD crap that was in front of you. Yup

It's not all or nothing. It's digging in and trying things out, and adding to your knowledge about what is going to work, and what is not. The physical, mental, social, practicality, and other aspects, ALL must be considered in finding a WOE that works best for you. Basing our diets in what our ancestors thrived on is just the beginning. Modern acculturation is a powerful thing, but, we need not let it defeat us. Instead, we can find ways to adapt to it, without totally abandoning the basic premise that we NEED animal food to be healthy. Think about it, Bear did just that, and, he was successful for 47 years and counting. Cool

Welcome back, Mana! Heart

Thanks guys!! It's nice being back!! I think the hardest part of doing this WOE is my DH. Even though he sees how much better I do without the carb crap, I think he feels more deprived than I do.

I decided to pick up some hamburger. I got a lb of it at my favorite Fareway store. I cooked it up with some garlic powder, paprika, ground red & black pepper and cumin. I threw about half of it in a bowl after it was cooked and threw in a couple handfuls of shredded cheddar. I'm going back for seconds.

They also had side pork (pork belly?). They said it was uncured bacon. I got a lb of that also. I'm having that in the morning.

I'll be going for a bike ride a little later too.

Mana,

Check out these wonderful burger recipes.

I've been living on burgers for weeks! Cool

And, yah, "fresh side" is pork belly. Heart

Read this whole thread and try out some of the stuff at the bottom, where Asian spices and dipping sauces are mentioned. This is GOOD stuff! I call it Hog Cake! LOL

Dean, am I allowed? I'm still doing a little AS in my first cup of morning coffee to get me over the hump.

On side note, appetite suppression really kicked in this morning. Normally, I have been really hungry in the mornings, so this morning on auto-pilot I got up to make a breakfast and after I made my coffee with butter, cream, egg yolks & a little AS, reheated my bacon and fried a couple of eggs sunny side up w/the extra whites in my leftover bacon lard and sat down - halfway through my cup of coffee, I realized that I didn't feel like eating. So, I'm going to have to pack my breakfast for lunch, which I'm a little sad about because my yolks are all runny now and when I reheat them they'll be all hard and yucky. It almost makes me want to throw them out. Cry

Also, my sleeping is much better, but I remember it being better than it currently is. I'm still waking up feeling like I need more sleep.

Good news, I lost some carbage water weight overnight in the form or 3lbs, so now I'm only 10lbs heavier than when I fell off the wagon. Roll Eyes

Thanks guys, I ended up having the rest of my breakfast for lunch and then another cup of joe mid-afternoon. Dinner we went to Hu-Hot, which unfortunately will not be happening again. I only dished up meat, sauce & oil so, I don't know if which one it is, but it goes right through me within an hour. Personally, I think it's the oil, as I never eat vegetable oil anymore. Mostly because I think it smells gross.

I'm headed to sleep now, I'm done in. We opened our new hotel today, so it's been a crazy lot of last minute items to do. And I've spent the last couple of hours fixing the set up on the new wireless router and trying to correct my error message on the VPN. Ugh, I'm going to have to call my IT person tomorrow to figure out why the VPN isn't working.

Night! Snooze

Sorry to hear about the food troubles. With restaurants and oil, you just never know what they are using. Shock

I hope you have success fixing the wireless.

Manaloa · Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2009 8:37 pm Post subject:

Thanks Heather. Yeah, it's why I don't like going out and my DH doesn't like it when I only eat part of my meal, which is why we'll usually go to all you can eat places, where you take your chances on what they cook the meat in.

Well, only had partial success fixing the wireless. I got the VPN to work but now there are issues with the remote connection which we're troubleshooting. ugh

Anyways, yesterday was only a partial success. Breakfast was good - had eggs in butter, lunch was bad - fried chicken thighs Roll Eyes

and dinner was ok - Italian sausage omelet with Parmesan. Lunch - I actually had the option of going with rotisserie thighs with no breading, the lady even asked but no, I chose the darn breaded ones. Wall

<sigh> Dinner, though, I had made my favorite sausage and pumpkin soup. And I was planning on having it, when I started putting it down in writing though, I started thinking "....what the heck are you doing???? You're not doing LC, you're done with that!!! Remember, you don't feel good on LC" So I made myself an omelet and I felt pretty satisfied. I didn't sleep very good last night though.

This morning I had my usual coffee, but we were out of heavy cream so I was just going to use milk and then I stopped myself again thinking "hello slippery slope, so nice to see you again! I think I'll avoid you" And I made the buttery, egg yolks mixture for my coffee. I'm still using a little AS, but I'm deliberately using less than normal. So much so that I could hardly tell that it was in there, which is good, so when I have even less or none at all tomorrow, I should be on my way.

I didn't feel 100% today, but figure that it's because of the breading from yesterday. ugh No such problems today though. I had a couple of bacon with my coffee this morning and for lunch had a burger with some more bacon. The bacon is already starting to taste too salty, which is another sign that I remember from before. Which means that I'm well on my way back to just meat and water, that makes me happy. Whew! That was long winded.

No coffee this morning, just a large beef patty w/bacon grease & some mustard. A little salty, by the time I got to the end but good. It was very rare in the middle. mmmm

DH asked for fresh bread today, so I baked up a couple of loaves. Unfortunately, there is something about the smell of fresh bread and loads of butter that just makes me want to go face down in it. I wasn't planning on having any more AS, but I figured that was a better option than putting the entire loaf in my body. So I tried to fill myself up with fat so that I wouln't want to eat any of it. Had several cups of coffee w/yolks & lots of butter in it, which helped a lot. I wasn't hungry for supper but thought I should eat, partly because my protein for the day was a little low and partly because I knew after dinner DH & DD would be having ice cream. (we need one of those smilelys that can put their fingers in their ears and go lalalalalalalala)

I'm not stuffed, but I'm definitely very full and I'm feeling pretty safe from the cravings now. This is the point where I start to cave and fall off the wagon. I think it's because I start to lose weight again and I don't want it to stop and I know that if I don't stuff myself that I'll see a loss on the scale tomorrow. But this is also when the cravings hit if I'm not completely full of fat too. I just need to keep telling myself that the weight loss will come and I just have to wait until the carbs let me go or I'll fall off the wagon AGAIN.

You are such the woman.

There is no way I could bake fresh bread and not be face down in it slathered with butter and hot from the oven.

There should be some sort of award for you. Angel

Okay wait, I forgot for a second where I was.

Not me slathered with butter and hot, I meant the bread. LOL

Yesterday was good, a little higher on protein and lower on the fat than I like though. I've been eating sometimes knowing I wasn't hungry and just eating to head off hunger pangs. I was doing this on purpose because there are too many easy snacks that I used to be able to justify eating laying around. I was waiting for that hunger/craving suppression to come back after that fried chicken episode. I thought it was here today but I'm not so sure now. I guess I'll have to wait and see. My weight has stabilized for the last three days at 211 from 217. I'm guessing I'm not seeing a loss because of the extra food or possibly the sodium content of some of the food.

Right now I'm debating on whether to eat or not. I think I will. Even drinking the water doesn't seem to be helping me to not feel hungry. And I've got too much work to do this morning to deal with waiting around.

Manaloa- I think you are right to go ahead and eat... you wouldn't want to end up too hungry and caving in later. I don't know how you managed the fresh bread and the ice cream... wow, you were in the zone. I think that the smell of cookies baking is evil, too.

MetalMama · Location: GA Joined: 21 Feb 2008 Posts: 564 Gender: Female

Hey there - just wanted to say that you are doing SO terrific. Congrats to you for avoiding the bread. I live in a house full of temptation also and it is very hard with all that stuff hanging around. I've been avoiding baking the hubby cookies because I know the smell alone will be torture - I imagine bread is about the same.

Anyway - great job. Keep hanging in there!

Manaloa · Posted: Wed Feb 18, 2009 1:13 am Post subject:

The funny thing was ....the longer I was smelling the bread....the more it grossed me out. It started smelling like soggy moldy bread to me. Maybe it was partly the fact my sniffers stronger now and I was smelling the steam and yeast. I don't think my sniffers would have any problems with cookies though. LOL

I left the room when they had the ice cream though. Yup

I hear ya, MetalMama. My house is packed full of naughty things because my DH won't give them up.

So, my DH is always telling me that he won't give up his foods blah blah blah wants to eat a balanced diet blah blah blah. He gets now that I can't which is great, but won't look at any other side. So after feeding him LC (and sometimes VLC) for quite a while now, when I switched back to ZC, I've just went ahead and bought whatever he wanted, chips, cereal, milk, fruit, whatever. So, he saw me eating my hamburger this morning and he goes....."mmmmmmm, that looks yummy. I'm pretty sick of eating cereal. I could definitely go for hamburger in the morning instead." LOL

Hmmmm, maybe if I make him think it's his idea......... LOL

Today was a good day. Went until about 2pm before I started getting hunger pangs. Decided to have a decaf w/a little HC in it to tide me over until supper at 6. Which it did. Awesomeness! Thumbs Up

The NY strip was pretty lean so I added butter and then had more decaf w/butter and yolks. I'm really happy I switched to decaf, my regular caf coffee was giving me facial twitches. It was weird. I don't think I'm handling caffeine well anymore. When I used to carb, I could drink a pot of coffee and be fine. Now it's like a cup or two and it looks like I'm flirting with the cabinets.

I'm going to make it an early night tonight. I've still been tireder than I remember from before. Maybe I'm just healing.

Still at 211, which isn't surprising. I feel a lot better now. I can tell that I'm still not 100% though. I'm still a little tired in the mornings, but I'm waking up 1/2 hour earlier than what I used to and I'm much more awake and not walking around in a fog for an hour. I think I'm almost through detoxing though. When I switched back to NC, my face broke out like mad, but it's subsided now.

Well, DH had hamburger for breakfast yesterday and today with me. I'm not sure what's up with that, but I'm keeping my mouth shut about it. I'm going to try a couple of days of no extra fat, unless of course my meat is extremely lean, which I don't usually buy anyways. Today my butcher is making me up some fresh 70% sausage w/no seasonings and some 70% ground beef. I love their beef, it's soooo good.

Sounds great, Tina. I have found that I sleep less on ZC. It's something that I hear alot of people say. I suppose if we're not doing the damage to our bodies with carbs, it doesn't need as much rest to recover. Makes sense to me.

Yeah, I think I still have some healing to do which is why I feel like I need extra sleep.

Today was pretty good. Ate hamburger meat all day. Had ground beef at a mexican restaurant tonight and it was overly seasoned. I never noticed it before, I think, because this time around I haven't been seasoning anything. Roll Eyes

And yes, they were right about the fact that you get used to it and like it better that way.

Well...... I had mentioned doing this last year but nothing came of it. I think I had fallen off the wagon shortly after. I feel like I've tried everything else at this point and I'm not switching to any other diet, I just feel better now. So, I'm going to train myself to run a 1/2 marathon. I have until 4/30/09 to decide whether I can accomplish it. Which sounds like a lot of time, but I'm really out of shape. The 1/2 marathon is the Chicago rock-n-roll one on 8/2/09.

That being said:
2/19/09 - walked/jogged 1.5 miles (mostly walked)

Went to bed early last night, fell asleep right away, but woke up a couple times w/in the first couple of hours. Once DH came to bed though, I was out the rest of the night, he's like my NyQuil.

Woke at 5:20 this morning, ten minutes earlier than yesterday. During the summer when I first started this WOE, I was waking up naturally at 4:30-5am and going for a bike ride. I'd like to get back to there again.

Woke up not hungry this morning. Made DH his burger (again! Clap

) Decided to have decaf w/butter and yolks. I have some chuck eye steaks that I can warm up for lunch when I get hungry later.

We're going to see DH's parents this weekend. I put my foot down and told DH that I wasn't going off my meat over the weekend and asked if I could bring food with me. As we both know that his mother only has fruit, cereal or danishes as options for "breakfast" and always makes some kind of casserole for lunch and dinner. I told him I feel too good now to want to go off. I think he realizes it too, because he always gets up early and I didn't before. While I was eating a mixed diet, I was too tired to drag myself out of bed in the mornings. And now he gets fed in the mornings because I'm awake and energetic enough to want to cook. I don't think he wants to jeopardize it either. LOL

I was expecting at least some leg/calf soreness from the workout yesterday, but surprisingly feel really good. My right calf feels like it needs stretching and my neck is a little tight and my ankles are a little stiff, but other than that I'm good. I'm not "sore" like I expected to be. I'm going to the gym again this afternoon. I'm going to try for just 1 mile, but try to jog more than walk today. While I'm off at the in-laws, I'm going to take a couple of walks. Then I won't overtrain my poor out of shape body. It's probably a good thing we're going away this weekend in regards to the working out, as I am pretty gung-ho right now and would probably over train over the weekend. Grin

Then I'd probably be miserable and give up. Roll Eyes

No workout today, too busy.

Today was weird for food or lack thereof. Wasn't terribly hungry this morning, so just had a couple cups of decaf w/some yolks and lots of butter. Went to lunch w/DH and ate the meat out of an unwich. This evening I've been drinking decaf w/butter. I really don't much desire to eat today. I'm sure if some meat were put in front of me I could probably finish it off, but I don't feel any desire to warm anything up. meh.

Did end up having a little meat last night and went to bed early. Going to the in-laws for the weekend. I roasted an 11lb pork butt roast w/some seasonings for supper w/them tonight. Got it for $1.29/lb whoohooo Happy

I've also got two chuck eye steaks cooked up and one hamburger patty and a stick of butter. I figure that's probably all I'll need until we get back Sunday.

Well, had to explain to my mom & sister in law about not eating anything except meat. Didn't discuss it with dad in law as he has Alzheimers. They asked what else I eat, juice, salad, any vegetables? And I told them just meat. Nothing else. I told them I do it for health reasons. And they were amazed that I could only eat meat. I told them that Marty feels more deprived when I'm on my diet than I do. They said that eventually I'll go back to a normal diet right? But I said nope, won't do it. And they said what about social situations. I said, I'd order my meat and whatever side dishes and eat my meat and push the side dishes around and no one would notice.

Tina, that's awesome about the Chicago Rock-n-Roll Half Marathon. Maybe I'll see you there. Wink

I'm running it too. It looks like alot of fun. Take the training a bit easy in the beginning. It's natural to want to jump right in, but it's too easy to do too much and then end up getting injured. You can do it. A few years ago Heather went from barely being able to walk on the treadmill to running a half marathon in about 5-6 months.

Jeff,
I remember that. That's one of the reasons that I'm hoping I can do it. Yup

I was told I had to fast prior to dr's appt yesterday at 11am. But then they didn't take any labs. Roll Eyes

When I finally got home around noonish - 1pm. I ate a lot. But then I wasn't hungry until lunchtime today. I feel pretty good. I don't know whether it's because I haven't cheated, or the fasting yesterday, or that I weight lifted last night, but I lost another lb & a half. Happy

I have another 10lbs before I get to my all time low, right before I went off this WOE the first time in the fall of 2007.

I was just checking my weight tracker and the funny thing is I noticed a trend. For the last three years, I seem to fall off the wagon every October between the 20th & the 25th. And I don't seem to regain my senses until early spring, around February. I wonder if it's just the holidays or if it's something else. I remember reading something in GCBC about insulin rushes being larger in the fall/winter vs spring/summer. I've only read through it once, so I'm not sure.

Anyways, wasn't hungry again this morning. About mid-morning wanted something because was feeling a little hungry, so had decaf & HC. Lunch was hamburger. Supper was late at about 7:30pm. I think I ate too much. because I went to sleep at 10pm and then from about 1:30pm on I kept waking up - wide awake. I had to tell myself to go back to sleep, so I dozed until about 4:30 and then gave up. I'm a little sleepy, so I don't know why I couldn't stay asleep last night.

Workout:
Monday: weights (done)
Tuesday: jog/walk (done)
Wednesday: off (done)
Thursday: weights
Friday: jog/walk

When I got home though.... I made myself a 1/2lb hamburger. And then another. And then another. And then another. Wow

Good grief, it was like filling up an empty tank.
